NASA’S WEBB TELESCOPE WILL BE THE WORLD’S PREMIER SPACE SCIENCE OBSERVATORY – HERE’S WHAT THOSE POWERFUL CAPABILITIES MEAN FOR ASTRONOMY

By SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE FEBRUARY 25, 2021 This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows the heart of the globular star cluster Messier 92 (M92), one of the oldest and brightest in the Milky Way. The cluster packs roughly 330,000 stars tightly together, and they orbit the center of the galaxy en masse. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will observe M92, or a similar globular cluster, early in its mission to demonstrate its ability to distinguish the light of its individual stars in a densely packed environment. Webb’s high resolution and…

CHINA OUTSPENDS REST OF THE WORLD ON 5G INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2 IS TO 1 RATIO

WHATSAPP,FACEBOOK,TWITTER,INSTAGRAM SIGNAL & TELEGRAM FACE PROBLEMS AS INDIA ANNOUNCES NEW SOCIAL MEDIA RULES.

India’s new social media regulations want social media apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram to identify the ‘first originator’. In cases where social media apps are being used to spread ‘mischief’, the government wants the ability to track down the instigators. Tracking the origin of messages may require apps offering privacy to break end-to-end encryption. To prevent the misuse of social media, the Union government on Thursday announced new rules that make it mandatory for platforms such as WhatsApp to aid the government in identifying the “originator” of certain messages containing unlawful…

ONLINE ART PROJECT TAKES AIM AT MILITARIZATION OF ROBOTICS OFFERING PEOPLE TO TAKE CONTROL OF A FUTURISTIC SORT OF WEAPON

An internet-enabled art installation that launched Wednesday offers a strange proposition: the chance to pilot a $75,000 four-legged robot named Spot that is armed with a paintball gun.  The robot may be familiar to people who have seen various viral videos of similar robots from Boston Dynamics that have offered a sometimes startling glimpse at leaps in robotics technology.  But they haven’t seen it like this.  “Obviously they’ve worked really hard in terms of their marketing team to kind of bridge this association of Spot the dog with cute internet…

Russia approves its third COVID-19 vaccine, CoviVac

Russia has already approved two COVID-19 vaccines, including the Sputnik V shot, developed by Moscow’s Gamaleya Institute, following a similar approach of granting approval before seeing any late-stage trial results.

Sputnik V was approved in August and late-stage trials began in September. Mass vaccination was launched in December, after preliminary trial results showed the vaccine to…

US President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have formed anespecially close relationship over the past few years, culminating in a series of joint commitments on development, security, governance, and…

US Prepares For Space War For Future Generations !

FAMERICA is bracing itself for war in space and has begun training U.S. air force personnel for science fiction-style cosmic conflicts, it has been revealed.
